I’ll prove I’m the best huh they take
the art out of martial arts welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 worst
ninja movies
for this list we’re focusing on feature
films that launched a vicious assault on
the art of filmmaking and innocent
moviegoers you’re all you’re gonna need
this
you were separate yes an attack they
must have a central plot involving
ninjas in some way proceed with caution
number 10 Cobra vs ninja good directed
by Joseph Lai and the incomparable
Godfrey Howe more on him later
this special film won’t inspire any
future directors but it does feature a
hulkamaniac ninja
[Music]
centered around a plot about wealth
kicking ass Cobra versus ninja thrives
on the actors physicality but fails hard
with everything else if you enjoy
nothing other than the sound of a good
sword fight
you just might enjoy this late 80s mess
and congratulations cuz you’ll be an
army of one I don’t care I gotta make a
living
number nine gymkata the subtle blend of
the martial arts of the east the
fighting skills of the west meet Kurt
Thomas an Olympic gymnast who will stun
you with flexibility and then blast your
nuts with a well-timed roundhouse
well at least a special intelligence
operative Jonathan Cabot in 1985’s
gymkata he will a Star Wars satellite
station inside promised an could monitor
all the other satellites around the
world here’s a film that actually
created its own brand of martial arts
but somehow the concept of gymkata never
caught on
[Music]
at the heart of Robert clauses
unintentional comedy is the game which
features grown men executing ball shots
against ninjas via the power of
gymnastics
remember ice-t in the 1994 film
surviving the game well what if he knew
karate that’s right he would have been
almost as terrible as gymkata number
eight surf ninjas so I want you to keep
one eye on my friends one well you just
do the best you can while a geographic
location should never prevent one from
embracing the martial arts it’s
generally understood that California bro
culture doesn’t necessarily capture the
essence of the art form no worries brah
in other words surf ninjas should never
have been made don’t give me excuses
directed by the ex-husband of clueless
director Amy Heckerling and starring
Ernie Reyes jr. a Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtle stuntman listen up amigo we’re
going to the cops comprende
this film was based on the concept that
one can control the world through video
games grab a nice level before and while
PewDiePie may agree with such a
philosophy today back in 1993 it was an
idiotic foundation for a brainless flick
just got a waxy old man to wave friction
reducing vehicle surf fourth
number seven ninjas extreme weapons go
and tell your boss I need a million
dollars aside from the typical 80s music
laughable sound effects this action gem
from director Godfrey hell just seems to
be an excuse to show off ninjas fighting
and doing their thing but only for some
of the movie despite the title the rest
is filled with badly dubbed accents
perhaps you’re famous and I know that
you have such great talents it’s true do
you admire my towns a cult drinking
wheelchair-bound mob boss why didn’t you
both protect her you’re full of shit and
storylines involving drugs and
prostitutes don’t be so arrogant I can
hit you you don’t control me there isn’t
much more to say except the day of the
ninja is here yep that’s it yeah we’ll
just let the soundbites do the talking
my pleasure
number six ninja assassins
it’s a movie about a ninja who is also
an assassin who assassinates assassins
who are also ninjas produced by the same
people behind the matrix here’s a film
that looks the part but lacks that
something special you know a plot most
children are disappointments but hey
it’s got murder and plenty of mayhem and
sometimes that politics to make a return
on your investment
in this case the filmmakers enlisted
South Korean pop star rain for the lead
role and he essentially sliced and diced
for approximately 90 minutes
commercially successful but critically
pen Ninja Assassin is perpetually
problematic and that even miss Bentley
saying anything was here number five the
hunted
I was sent because he wanted the best my
skill is unmatched with one look at the
movie poster you may be inclined to
think of late-night Cinemax a man’s
psychotic gaze a woman making love to
the title it’s all there and it’s
brilliantly awful directed by jf Lawton
the writer behind both under siege films
are you you like some special forces guy
or something
just cook the hunted tells the story of
one Paul Racine a cocky Big Apple
executive who finds himself fully cocked
and in deep trouble after betting a
woman in Nagoya maybe I thought you and
I could do a little sightseeing more and
so a ninja clan seeks revenge thus
setting in motion a narrative of subpar
dialogue and weak acting the men who
attacked you they a ninja from a cut
coda Makoto how about those nude scenes
though
[Music]
number four American ninja – the
confrontation with Michael Dudikoff and
the late Steve James reprising their
roles as Joe Armstrong and Curtis
Jackson they defend their American
freedom with the long sword of justice
and equally sharp dialogue is sharp the
right word what do you want from him I
need to get the Blackbeard island we’ve
been turned round you’re going the wrong
way
okay not every movie can be written with
an Aaron Sorkin like wit but American
Ninja two was collectively written by
for individuals who likely had never
seen anything but ninja movies what the
hell are ninja there’s secret Japanese
society expert in the art of
assassination for a couple of guys that
must not fail in achieving their
objective the final result is rather
hilarious because this was indeed an
epic ninja fail
[Music]
kind of like the entire American Ninja
series when you think about it I never
thought I was gonna end like this
number three Dragonball Evolution I was
invited I’m not looking for any trouble
trouble found you freak as a deadly
hunter of Dragon Balls Goku joins forces
with numerous individuals of
questionable skills all the while
seeking out the man with the biggest
Dragon Balls played by chow yun-fat
this is not happening believe it Punk
you are getting your clock seen maybe it
was the narratives lack of clarity or
perhaps the uninspired performances I
will avenge him but before he he died he
asked me to find you but all in all
Dragonball Evolution effectively took a
big dump on the beloved manga and anime
series it was based on yes it was
certainly an evolution an evolution into
a steaming hot mess our pissed off
levels are over 9000
number two the ninja squad please master
could you explain to me about the origin
of the ninjas what do you get when you
combine furious foxes and black eagles
together in great Shanghai endless
slaughters that can only be brought to
an end by the ninja dragon this time
it’s going to be pink I accept your
challenge
where and when Falcon Ridge tomorrow at
dawn with a measly 35 percent on Rotten
Tomatoes the Ninja squad boasts terrible
costumes awful dubbing you had better
find a way to eliminate this bastard hey
boss I know he lives
I wouldn’t go and find him it’d get rid
of him and a director by the name of you
guessed it godfrey ho
oh and in case you couldn’t decipher who
the ninjas in the movie were they’re the
ones wearing the headbands that read
ninja on them go figure
burnin engine dyin engine before we
unveil our number one pick
here are some dishonorable mentions
[Music]
you don’t came in a camera I’m gonna
back off Rath
number one Mortal Kombat annihilation
will be decided as it should be
immortals comrades special effects sound
design script writing in a world of 3d
blockbusters it’s easy for millennial
cinephiles or anybody else for that
matter to lose sight of the actual
filmmaking process we trust the two man
what happened back in 1997 there was a
film that tried so incredibly hard to
blow our minds
[Music]
your life too bad you will die but sadly
its legacy is for ruining families
relationships and the dreams of aspiring
filmmakers nothing can alter your
destiny nor mine
it was the sequel to end all sequels a
film the paid little respect to the art
of filmmaking or even its audience this
is the beginning of it do you agree with
